The Club [Multi5) Full Backup (DVD9 to DVD5)
 

THE CLUB DVD9 TO DVD5 MULTI5 FULL BACKUP

Disclaimer: This replaces the Small_NTSC with 0k.BIK files & the main move files are compressed to 40% of there original..DO NOT use this conversion if you have a problem with that..

[1] Copy the contents of the DVD9 game to a folder called THE CLUB

[2] Extract my RAR file to THE CLUB folder saying yes to any prompts

(Both parts are needed)
1) http://uploaded.to/?id=2dnv27
2) http://uploaded.to/?id=y9g2ap

[3] Make a new ISO from the folder & test it first before burning

Ive installed the game & run it without errors or problems..Just give me some time to get the New BIK's uploaded & someone can check to make sure everything is ok

Download RADtools..Select all the files you want to compress & start..There is more too it that you will have to learn..Set the compression depending on how you do the conversion..If following mine you will need between 35% & 40% compression...& this is 2008 there is no excuse for having 2 cans & some string for a BB connection..:)

Oh.. bad news... to seem, I was right.

Edit: nop, the original bik's files don't have the ''guy voice''... I think that it's in some .pak file (maybe it's a sound file)... but probably is necessary edit some data file to fix the problem...

--------------------------

EDIT2: NO again, I was right all this time... the bik's files has multiple tracks :), Try this (with the original file of course) : advanced play -> In "sound options" -> plays this track number -> write 1 to listen english lang voice... 2, 3, 4... to listen others languages.... 0 to listen effect sounds...

For example, the original tutorial.bik file have got 7 tracks... the freeman version have only one... (sound effects)


EDIT: For futures bik convertions: Open rad video tools, select the file to convert, click on file info and check if the file have multiple tracks IDs... After this... select the file, click on convert file,click on browse and browse the output directory, click on output file type, click on WAV file, write the track number (if you have 7 tracks you need convet one by one files) in Input from track, click on convert, reppet this with all the ID tracks... Now, in rad video tools select your previouly compress bik file and click on mix in sound, click on browse (sound file to mix) select the track 1wav file, click on browse (output file info) and select the output directory, write the ID track number in mix into what Bik track number (your previously compressed bik file have the track 0 by default!), write 1 for ID 1 track number (2 for 2, 3 for 3...), click on convert, if you have more than 2 tracks numbers in the original file (0 and 1 tracks) reppet the steps with the other wav track files...
I hope a better method, coz this takes a lot of time...

Okay, so "estecb" is 100% right. I did some researching and found a way to do this the easy way for you guys out there.
Download 'The_Club-HBx2000.zip' containing 4 files: 1-Make_WAV.rlst, 2-Make_BIK.rlst, rename.bat and autorun.inf.
Do my step-by-step guide and everything will go allright. Tested it 3 times in a row now, also ingame... Works like a charm!

DOWNLOAD

Step 0: Install RAD Video Tools from http://www.radgametools.com/down/Bink/RADTools.exe.

Step 1: Change in notepad 1-Make_WAV.rlst the letter G:\ to you're diskdrive where you have the original The Club inserted/mounted.

Step 2: Save changes and run the file.

Step 3: Copy to the root of you're C-drive these 22 (the ones with a red square) compressed bik-files, created by FREEMAN100 (thx!).

Step 4: Copy 2-Make_BIK.rlst also to the root of C:\ and run the file.

Step 5: Now put the file rename.bat in the root of C:\ and run it. This will remove the junk and only keep the 22 .bik-files.

Optional: Use my Autorun.inf to get an icon in Windows Explorer of you're game-dvd.

Maybe you're wondering, there are only 22 files done, that's because the other files already have English audio or no audio at all.
BTW: It's only for the English version.

Files from FREEMAN100 are 159MB, after conversion they're 160MB.
If this doesn't work for some reason, (double)check the filesnames!

If you want to create a BAT file so these can be run later without RADVideo being installed then you can just install RADVideo and copy these files to a safe place:

bink.exe
binkconv
binkmix.exe
binkmake.dll
radutil.dll

Then create a BAT file and put start /w at the begining of each command and /# at the end of every command. The only downside is the length of time needed to convert BIK files, even with a Dual Core CPU it can take many hours sometimes :(

Here's an example BAT file I made to convert the Outro Videos to 50% quality and keep only the English Audio (Tranks 0 to 4). It also deletes the wav's and the original file after each conversion then renames the converted file to the original filename. It's a 'fire and forget' bat file!!

It also keeps the audio in the same format as the original.

The switches mean the following:

start /w (Only in a BAT file means WAIT for the command to finish before processinbg the next one)
/# (Only in a BAT file means the end of the command string)
/d means the data rate of the video, /d50 means downsample to 50% of the original.
/m this is recommended to be left at /m3.0!
/o means overwrite the file without asking. Only use if you want to overwrite the original and not make a new file!
/l means audio quality, /l4 means barely lossy, /l99 means very lossy!
/t means Audio TrackID to process if doing an Audio task. /t0 will process TrackID 0.
/r means the sample rate of the Audio, /r48000 is 48000Khz, /r44000 is 44000Khz etc!
/b means the bit rate of the audio, so /b16 is 16bit audio and /b8 is 8bit audio.
/c is the number of channels in the audio, /c1 is mono and /c2 is stereo!

So now you can create a DOS BAT file and use the 5 files from RAD Video to make conversions, just make sure the BAT file and the 5 Rad Video files are in the same folder as the BIK files to convert! This is a good way to make conversions 'simple' without having to make lots of instructions, just make the BAT file (double check it works), post it somewhere with the Rad Video files included and that's it.

You can also use the full Rad Video Tools batch editor to help make the batch file as you can cut/paste repeat instructions and then modify them accordingly, that's how I made the above example. Then I just used notepads find/replace to put the 'start /w' and '/#' commands in like so:

Find: bink
Replace: start /w bink

same for binkconv and binkmix!

and on the end of the command:

Find: /c2
Replace: /c2 /#

or

Find: /c1
Replace: /c1 /#

Easy init :)

Easier Method

The Club dvd9 to 2xdvd5 [full/complete backup]

1) Copy The content of DVD9 to a new folder called disk1.

2)Download then copy this custom .msi file to disk1, say yes to overwrite the old installer.
3) Move these files from disk1 to a new folder called disk2 (You Must Keep The Folder Names Intact Or It Will Not Work!)



4)Copy any cracks or patches you have to disk2.

5) Burn the contents of folder disk1 with label "Club Disk1".
Burn the contents of folder disk2 with label "Club Disk2".

Hi softy2k/pakrat2k2... regarding the "Wrong volume" error, the answer is simple: do NOT run the AutoLaunch.exe (or if it autostarts, stop it), run Setup.exe.
In my backup I modified the autorun.inf to run Setup.exe instead of AutoLaunch.exe and the error disappeared.

good working brother...thanks:)

added link to this forum as original posted link died :)

The disk label will be "Club_Disk1" & "Club_Disk2" otherwise it will unable to recognised the second disk
